2018 FL3TCH3R Exhibit Entrants, and patrons

We have had a setback and regret to inform you that David Carson, the juror, has had a personal emergency and will not be able to participate in this year's exhibit. Due to these unfortunate circumstances, we will not be announcing accepted artworks until around September 24, 2018.

Even so, we are very excited to announce that our new jurors will be a team of two very accomplished studio artists/educators! They are Cheryl Goldsleger and Larry Millard.

Cheryl Goldsleger exhibits in the United States and internationally. Her work has been included in exhibitions at the Corcoran Gallery in Washington, DC, the American Academy in New York, the Albright-Knox Art Gallery in Buffalo, the Brooklyn Museum, the Islip Art Museum, The National Museum of Women in the Arts, the Virginia Museum, the New Orleans Museum, the Israel Museum, and the Tel Aviv Museum. Her work has been discussed in an extensive list of publications, and her awards include two National Endowment for the Arts Artist Fellowships, a Southeastern Center for Contemporary Art Fellowship, a residency at the La Napoule Foundation in southern France and a US/France exchange fellowship at the Cite Internationale des Arts in Paris. Goldsleger’s drawings and paintings are in the collections of the Albright-Knox Art Gallery, the Brooklyn Museum, The Fogg Museum, the High Museum, the Israel Museum, the Museum of Modern Art, the New Orleans Museum, the North Carolina Museum of Art, the Rhode Island School of Design Museum, the Tel Aviv Museum and other important public and private collections. Cheryl Goldsleger was appointed the Morris Eminent Scholar in Art at Augusta University in Augusta, Georgia beginning in Fall 2015.

The Morris Chair is the first Eminent Scholar position among the senior colleges in the University System of Georgia and is made possible by William S. Morris III.
